Xofilo

xofilo (born August 15, 2003) (formerly known as LVN Filo and LVN Fylo) is an American singer, songwriter, producer and occasional rapper. They were signed to Flex Entertainment during late 2020 and early 2021 after being discovered by executives Yung Schmoobin and Lil Mosquito Disease.. They were best known in the label for being one of the first "hyperpop" artists.

Although a very popular member of the community, xofilo left in March 2021 shortly after the release of the third Flex Gang compilation. They have since gained notoriety for their tendency of deleting much of their old discography.

They are best known for their hit songs "addicted to u <3", "late night", "D.T.Y.D." and "feathers" as well as their debut EPs "HYPER-FILOLIAL" and "EXTRA-HYPER-FILOLIAL" which contained many of the aforementioned hit tracks that did well on the Flex Hot 100.

It's older music is best known for it's experimental nature, 100 gec esque vocalization and indie DIY nature. The newer music they have put out is better known for it's repetitive nature and limited genres.

Beginnings (Early 2020)
Filo started out by making remixes of other artist's songs and posting them on their SoundCloud, like her synthwave remix of "Hand Crushed by a Mallet" by 100 gecs, experimental remixes of "Game of Mosquito" by Lil Mosqutio Disease, "Ice Triccs" by Yung Fizz, "Sex Talk" by Megan Thee Stallion, and more. on March 22, 2020, they released their debut single "Chocolate Parfeit" on SoundCloud, which got deleted a few weeks later. They then released a few singles like "Late Night" and "Stay With Me", which would lead up to their now-deleted debut EP "Hyper-Filolial" released on May 29, 2020.

Flex Entertainment and HYPERFILOLIAL series (Mid 2020-Early 2021)
On June 4, 2020, LVN Filo was signed to Flex Entertainment. They appeared on two songs on the Flex Gang, Vol. 2 compilation album: their solo song "Itookyourgirltofancyrestaurant", also known as "ITOOKYOURGIRLTOMCDONALDS!" and the collaborative song "No Words" with Lil Toy Yoda. "No Words" is considered by many to be one of the greatest Flex Entertainment songs of all time. Filo released his next EP Extra Hyper Filolial on August 28, 2020, which saw them branching out and trying new genres, and it was received positively. It was their second release under the label. They left Flex Entertainment on March 12, 2021.

Critical Reception
During filo's time in Flex Entertainment, they were often talked about in a positive light. Their EPs "HYPER-FILOLIAL" and "EXTRA HYPER-FILOLIAL" were both well received by fans and critics. They were considered as one of the best artists of the label by some.

Filo's more recent output is not looked at with as much of a positive light in the Flex community as many see it as loosing the original sense of creativity and fun that made them so drawn towards their music in the first place. While their newer music does do great numbers, many do miss the more DIY and indie aspects of the older music that filo was known to make.

Their song "Ice Age" is a classic banger. Lil Squeaky went off foo.
